Re: Using sites while playing

Sharkscope will tell you how much a player has won or lost in tournaments and SNGs. Its a good way to see how good or bad the players are at your table

PTR is a scraping site that goes to all the sites and basically steals hand histories. Since most sites use text files to show hand histories, these are files that can be grabbed using software.

PTR then sells these hand histories for a fairly cheap price, $30 will get about 1 million I believe.

You will now have hand histories on almost every player on the site you purchased. you import these hands into your tracking software and you could now have all the information you need against players you have neevr even played against.

Ill admit that i did buy these hand histories a while ago. It is still something I am not proud of, but I knew most of the players I was playing against were doing the same, so I felt I had no choice if I wanted to continue making money.

Once I uploaded the hands into my database, I immediately had 20 thousand hands on players I had never seen before. This was a huge advantage for me and for anyone who uses it.
